This affects me too, on an HP HDX16t laptop. I tried the PPA version of upower given above with no result. Strangely, looking at upower's dbus interface in d-feet shows that it knows my energy_rate (discharge rate) and the amount of energy in my battery, but doesn't calculate time_until_full or time_until_empty.
It reads these from charge_now, not current_now. My current_now is -1000, but I don't see how that could be causing the bug. I'll fire up gdb and have a look at upower if I can. I've never debugged anything but C# and Python before, so it will be interesting... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a subscriber of a duplicate bug (38795). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/629258 Title: Battery life estimation never comes around -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
